SNOW LEOPARD!!!

August 28, 2009

MacMiniSnow Leopard arrived at my door this morning, so naturally I immediately installed it. I did a little cleanup work last night to ensure all would go well, but come on, it’s Apple, all would go well even if I decided to install it underwater.

Once the install was done, 8.22 GB of space was cleared up on my boot drive and the whole system, which is the first Intel version of the Mac Mini, runs a little better, and dare I say even smells and looks better. The few user interface changes that were made are nice and make for more efficient use of the OS, unlike some companies that add features that are less efficient to use. I don’t want to name names, but Flip 3D comes to mind. What a waste of time and resources. If I wanted to push 3 keys at once, then repeatedly push an arrow key until the app I want appears roughly three minutes later and God forbid I accidentally pass it the first time through, then I would be either insane or would just have a lot of time on my hands and nothing better to do. Anyhoo, Snow Leopard is still all of the stuff I loved about Leopard, but smaller and faster. And better smelling. And only $29. And awesome. And I am pretty sure it saved some stray puppies while installing. That’s right, it’s a great operating system with a heart of gold.
